However im not sure how it will climb but i reckon it will be fun in the hills of spain or the alps. The tubing is huge too, it could have been made for £600 if the tubing was normal diameter!

It's actually completely ace cable routing. You are mistaken :-) "would a Tech M4 caliper fit in the rear stays on the Ragley Brant ?" can't see why not.

Tut, tut, tut. Well I know what you mean, and what you're thinking. But. 1. There is more metal at the rear of the seat tube, so putting a slot in it has far less effect than putting it at the front - ie: ITS STRONGER THIS WAY. 2.
